No the fire cards do not need a special MB just make sure you have the appropriate slot.

I would think the radeon because it's main purpose is to output graphics; were as the fire's advantage in life is is that it accelerates video processes such as rendering and encoding which would be more dependent on bus speed.

Before spending any money I would shoot a email to ati and ask them what they think of this.
